Ralph Stanley

Maybe the most influential musician to pass away in a year where we lost the Starman and the Purple One.

 

Still not over Prince.

The only good thing to come of it ( I don't even want to use the word "Good") is that being in MN, Prince will be played even more than usual at all times. They even played Partyman at the Wolves draft party tonight.
